New research, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uncovers the unique dynamics governing ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists ...

Like a mosaic, the cell membrane is a complex structure made up of many different parts, such as proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The relative amounts of these components vary from ...

We call this comparison a model. The cell or battery is like the boiler ... to power small devices such as a calculator. This circuit diagram shows the same circuit, but uses circuit symbols ...

At physiological temperatures, cell membranes are fluid; at cooler temperatures, they become gel-like. Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the membrane as a fluid mosaic ...
